But one thing dogs do not love is getting their claws trimmed, so we asked veterinarian Dr. Valerie Patton to give some of her best tips for easily, painlessly cutting your dog’s nails. Cut a little, give a treat, and repeat. If your dog has dark nails, you won’t be able to see the quick, so just take off tiny amounts at a time. Finally, be sure to replace the nail clippers periodically, as you want them sharp, not just squeezing the nail. And get some Kwik Stop or cornstarch on hand in case you cut into the quick.
